Definition
The overdenture is a complete or partial denture
prosthesis constructed over existing teeth, root
structure and/or dental implants.
 The overdenture is also called “overlay denture”,
“overlay prosthesis”, “superimposed prosthesis”
Implant overdenture
Advantages of Overdentures
1- Preservation of residual ridge .
• Improved occlusal stress distribution.
• Edentulous mouth Bone loss of 6.6mm in
7 years.
• Dentate mouth Bone loss of 0.8mm in 7
years.
Mandibular bone is affected four times
more than the maxillary bone.

maxillary bone.
Advantages of Overdentures
2- Prevent the loss of
teeth.
3- Preservation of
proprioceptive
response:
Enhance neuromascular control , occlusal awareness
and biting force.
Proprioception
Periodontal mechanoreceptors are said to
allow a finer discrimination of food texture,
tooth contacts and levels of functional
loading.
This neuromuscular coordination allow pt
to have better control and greater confident in
their ability to eat, drink and speak.
The bite force for natural dentition is 150-
200 lb/in². Complete denture is 25 lb. and
overdenture is 75 Lb.
Advantages of Overdentures
4- Stability, Support.
◦ Bone preservation, presence of natural
teeth leading to less trauma to soft
tissues.
5- Retention.
◦ Through Attachments, additional
retention may be obtained by adding
different attachment devices.

Disadvantages of Overdentures
• Caries susceptibility.
Disadvantages of Overdentures
• Bony undercuts:
Limitation of the path of insertion of O. D.
Disadvantages of Overdentures
• Periodontal breakdown
of the abutment teeth.
– Gingivitis
– Periodontitis
– Hyperplasia
Disadvantages of Overdentures
• In adequate reduction of
the abutment teeth may
increased vertical
dimension.
Disadvantages of Overdentures
• Encroachment of the
interocclusal distance.
• Esthetics.
Disadvantages of Overdentures
Expense and Time consuming
Bulkier
Removable Prosthesis
Indications for Overdentures
Few remaining teeth are present, not suitable for fixed or RPD
Mobile teeth: Reduction of unhealthy remaining periodontal
teeth, decrease the C/R ratio, inturn decrease the
hypermobility of teeth.
Severe attrition
Abnormal jaws
Congenital defects
Alternative treatment to single
dentures
Contraindications for
Overdentures
If any other prosthetic plan can give superior results
In cases with poor oral hygiene.
Inadequate interarch distance to accept the denture and abutments.
Abutments exhibiting mobility, which exceeds grade III.
Inter-arch Space
The determination of a case
to be treated with
overdentures should be done
with care, mounted models
are extremely beneficial in
determining whether there is
adequate space for the
overdenture, attachments or
copings or bars.

Gold or metallic cast Copings and
telescopic crowns are a method of
improving overdenture retention.
These may be conical crowns (semi-
parallel wall) with a friction
adaptation at the marginal area of
the abutment or Milled crowns for
larger areas and parallel surfaces.
Friction retention is more commonly
used in exclusively tooth-supported
overdentures that are not supported
by soft tissue.

Abutment selection.
◦ Position of abutments.
◦ Number of abutments.
◦ Periodontal evaluation.
◦ Endodontic evaluation.
◦ Decay or previous restorations.
Position & Number of abutments
 At least one tooth per
quadrant.
 Retained teeth should
preferable not be adjacent
ones.
 There should be several
millimeters of space
between the reduced tooth
forms.
 Canines and premolars
are the best overdenture
abutments to reduce
adverse forces at this site.
Periodontal and Mobility Status
Bone support, pocket depth, width of attached

An attachment is defined as a mechanical device used for
retention and stabilization of a prosthesis.

1. PRECISION ATTACHMENTS
Ready made attachment their component are
machined in a especial alloys under precise
tolerance. Less wear, Standard parts, easier to
repair

2- SEMI- PRECISION ATTACHMENTS
semi- precision attachment is fabricated by the direct
casting of plastic, wax or refractory patterns, subject
to variables of fabrication, economy.

II-
Rigid attachments: do not allow for movement of the
denture base providing adequate retention. However, may induce more
torque on the abutments.
Resilient attachments: allow some controlled
vertical movement. They induce less torque on abutments. However,
they are more complex in design and fabrication.
it’s important to differentiate between resilient or non resilient type
restoration. Abutment/tooth supported restorations are
considered non-resilient or solid, while abutment and tissue-
supported restorations are considered resilient.

Alignment of the roots
Maintenance issue
Clinical experience and
personal preference
Attachment retained overdentures are more expensive and require
more work and time for their construction.
They are indicated for patients exhibiting good oral hygiene and low
caries index.
Abutment teeth should have good periodontal condition and adequate
bone support that enable them to tolerate extra stresses that may be
added by the attachment.
III- Attachments for Overdentures
1. Stud attachments
2. Magnets
3. Bar attachments
Stud attachments:
Consist of male stud that snugly fits a female housing.
The stud is usually attached to the metal coping cemented
over the prepared abutment, while the female housing is
embedded in the fitting surface of the acrylic overdenture
exactly opposite to the abutment.

    Bar attachments: A barattachment is in the form of a bar contoured to run parallel and overlie the residual ridge connecting the abutments together. The bar provides support and retention for the overdenture and splinting of abutment teeth. (or implants)

Editor's Notes

  • #67 Click: Stud attachments are considered simple and relatively small when compared to other attachments Click: They have applications for both root Click and implant-supported prosthesis Click Their retentive elements can be reactivated or replaced in the denture base.
  • #68  Click Stud attachments have been classified according to resiliency into Click Resilient & Rigid Click * Designed so as to permit or provide for a “controlled” movement.* They act as safety valve for any overload situations. Click The most common resilient stud attachments are the ball & socket types. Examples of which are the flexi-overdenture attachment & the OT-cap attachment Click Rigid attachments on the other hand do not allow any movement. They* Indicated when interocclusal space is limited & when no potential movement of the overdenture is required. Click Micro-fix is an example.
  • #89 Click depending on the location of the patrix, Stud attachments are classified into Click intra & Extra-radicular Click In the intra-radicular, The male portion (patrix) forms part of the denture base and engages a special depression within the root contour or implant Click In the extra-radicular, the patrix projects from the root surface of the preparation or implant. Click the logic attachment and the Click Zest are Examples of intra-radicular attachments examples of the extra-radicular attachments include Click Rotherman, Click Micro-fix and the Click Dalla Bona
  • #96 - CLICK Another distinction is made between mechanical and magnetic attachments. The difference lies in the mechanism of retention as the nomenclature implies. CLICK Keepers are usually attached to teeth or implants. CLICK Magnets are incorporated in the superstructure.

  • #110 Abutment roots are long and parallel-sided can be use to attachment. Large expose dentine surface are susceptible to caries, vigorous brushing and occlusal wear. Coping could provide some caries protection but the margin area can still get caries.
